About

Leah Haworth is a gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for uterine conditions, with a particular focus on improving outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Her most influential contribution, "Laparoscopic-Assisted Myomectomy with Bilateral Uterine Artery Occlusion/Ligation" (2018, 14 citations), addresses a critical gap in the surgical management of uterine fibroids by evaluating a technique designed to overcome the limitations of both conventional laparoscopic and robotic-assisted myomectomy, while minimizing the complications associated with open abdominal approaches. Haworth has also made significant strides in the emerging field of value-based surgical care. Her paired studies on hysterectomy approaches — published in 2018 and 2019, accumulating 10 citations combined — systematically compare the operative outcomes and cost-effectiveness of minimally invasive hysterectomy techniques, including the underexplored laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach. By framing surgical decision-making through a value-based lens, Haworth's research directly addresses the global challenge of rising healthcare expenditures. Her body of work offers practical, evidence-driven guidance for surgeons and healthcare systems striving to deliver high-quality gynecologic care more sustainably and efficiently.
